Why does FCP looses its source file reference when files are copied

Why does FCP looses its source file reference when files are copied from another project??
i have this happen all the time, I move all my media to another drive and files that originated in another project do not reconnect because they have lost there source?
Any way to fix this mess? i am in the middle of reconnecting 400 files by hand one at a time!!!
Thanks, mark

Because you changed the file path. From one hard drive to another...the hard drive name is no doubt different, and then if you have the files in different folder structures then yeah, it will lose the connection to that media.
Best thing to do is to clone your media drive, or name the other drive the same name, and keep the exact same file structure (folders in folders) as the original drive. Then you won't need to reconnect.

  • Why does my screen saver say "no photos" when they are definately there?

    I just downloaded the latest OS update and my screen saver no longer works.  When i go into system preferences and set up the folder to use for the picture slide show--it gives me an error that there are "no photos". But I have triple-checked and the photos are in fact there.  Why doesnt screen saver see them??

    UPDATE:  I spoke with Apple and there is NO fix.  I've set up my photos in a hierarchy as follows
    Pictures FolderSlide Show Pictures Folder
    Sub folder jpegs
    Sub folder with jpegs
    sub-folder with jpegs
    Everytime i have a new batch of photos worthy of the slide show--i add a new sub-folder.  This worked perfectly fine with the old OS but does not work with Mountain Lion.  According to the Apple support tech i spoke with, Mountain Lion does not support going into that level of sub-folder.  Essentially it is seeing the "Slide Show Pictures folder" but all it sees are the next level of sub-fodlers themselves--it cant go into the next level to see the actual photos.  Sounds pretty stupid if you ask me

  • Refresh DSV - why does it keep indicating it "Added" things, when its already been done? (repost from DW forum)

    There were a number of changes done and earlier I had used the "refresh" button in the DSV view, and the updates were reflected in the DSV.  Now, however everything should be updates, yet when I hit refresh, the dialog still comes up and list
    all the changes it did earlier as "Added".  What is going on here?
    Now however, all my tables, dimensions, relations etc are setup with no errors and the cube builds, processes and deploys without any errors, yet if I refresh the DSV, I still get the dialog that displays all the things that it "sees" as "Added".
     This is even after closing down BIDS and re-opening.
    Also, I wonder if this has something to do this this thread, since its concerning the DSV getting "confused"

    Hi Shiftbit,
    According to your description, you need to know why the dialog still comes up and list all the changes it did earlier as "Added" when there is nothing changed in the data source view, right?
    I have tested it on my local environment. We use the sample project AdventureWorks, we didn't make any modification on the DSV and click the Refresh button, and all the changes were list on Refresh Data Source View dialog. So as per my understanding, this
    is default settings. If we click the button, it will list all the changes from the date when you create this project.
    If you have any concern about this behavior, you can submit a feedback at

  • Why does not Lightroom allow me to import RAW files from my Canon 5D Mark III?

    Why does not Lightroom allow me to import RAW files from my Canon 5D Mark III?
    Error message that it does not support cr. file

    Which version of Lightroom?
    As Hal points out, if it's pre v 4.1, you can't expect an old version of the software to know what to do with a camera that didn't even exist when the software was released.
    Given how many times a day this same issue comes up, maybe it's time Adobe changed the error message to something like "your camera is too old to be supported by this version of Lightroom. Please upgrade" or similar...

  • Why is iCal in . and not in English? And why does it cast its malign spell over Mail?

    Why is iCal in German and not in English? And why does it cast its malign spell over Mail?

    Go to the Settings app and check under General, International and see what language is set. Even if it correctly set, reset it.
    If that doesn't work, try a rest of the iPad: hold down the On and Home buttons simultaneously until it shuts down. Ignore the Off slider if it appears. This will take 10 - 15 seconds or so. After it shuts down completely, press the On button to restart.

  • Why does my Adobe Reader DC stop working when I click scroll down options?

    I used to use PDF Suite 2014 Standard to view pdf files.
    However, tonight a message appeared when I attempted to open files saying ..."if the document does not load then the pdf viewer may not be able to display this type of document"
    I went to the website provided to download Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
    Although I was able to load pdf documents and fill in forms, the program repeatedly would crash whenever I attempted to click on scroll down options on forms.
    Any help is appreciated
    ....and talk/write slowly for I am not super computer literate.

  • Why does that entire thread goes to sleep when we put a wait function in time critical loop?

    why does that entire thread goes to sleep when we put a wait function in time critical loop but not when it is not time critical

    Norbert B wrote:
    Ujjval,
    in a RT system, priorities have (in general) increased effect on the execution of the application.
    It is recommended that you only have a single task in your RT program at "time critical". If you have two task "time critical" (that means you are running into issues caused by your quoted "feature"), you have a flaw in your application architecture.
    Since LV 7.1, it is recommended to work with Timed Loops in order to prioritize tasks on a RT system. Timed Loops are executed on priorities between "time critical" and "above normal". Each Timed Loop will execute its content in a single thread in order to keep a good overview of the timing (like finished late [i-1]). Using those structures (and according settings) in a reasoned manner will prevent your RT system to run into priority issues.

    [...]also i would really appreciate if i can get more documentations regarding how LV creates threads and assigns subvis to them[...]
    You will have a real hard time to go into this very deep. This is the feature of LV: you can just use multithreading (multicores) without the needed knowledge of scheduling and load balancing. This makes LV programming in general very easy in comparison to e.g. ANSI C (in regard of multithreading). So creation of threads, distribution of tasks to the threads are abstracted and most often not visible to the programmer.
    There are some switches and levers you can "play around" in order to make LV to behave differently in this matter. But this most often requires  deep LV knowledge and cannot be explained in a simple posting.....
    hope this helps,
    Norbert 
    Amen to that!
    The question can not be fully answered without digging into the internals of the OS LV is run on because LV works with the OS and lets it do the scheduling.
    Yes that note applies to pre- LV 7 RT. When run under RT the ONE Time Critical loop was guarenteed to stay determinisitic.
    Since then the Timed Loop was introduced that allowed multiple levels of priority and later allowed us to assign which CPU the code would run on.

  • Why does Acrobat prompt me to sign up when I need to export to excel?

    Why does Acrobat prompt me to sign up when I need to export to excel?

    Hi shirlaowry,
    I checked your account (using the same email address that you use here in the forums), and I don't see that you have any subscriptions. If you're using Adobe Reader, you need either an ExportPDF or Adobe PDF Pack subscription to convert a PDF file to Word.
    (Acrobat, as opposed to Reader, lets you save directly to Word format, and does not require a separate subscription for that functionality.)
    Please let us know if you have additional questions.
    Best,

  • Why does my apply laptop shut off Safari when I try  to watch videos online? Also why can't I use Firefox with this(I used to)

    Why does ma older apple laptop cancel Safari when I a m watching videos online?  Also,I used to be able to run Firefox but now message states "can't use with this operating system"?

    You can't use Firefox, because your operating system, OS X, is a version 10.4 or earlier. 
    Firefox "upgraded" its Mac compatible version, so that it will only operate with OS 10.6 or later.
    Your Safari also might quit, because it too has an upgraded version with greater stability geared toward 10.4 and later.  Perhaps you are using system 10.3 or earlier.
    It is also possible that Safari quits, because the video sites you watch have changed to be compatible with newer browser versions with later Flash Player compatibility, like Adobe.
    It is difficult to find browser compatibility or stability for earlier than 10.4.
    What the above post is showing is in the drop down menu in the upper left of your screen.  Click on the blue Apple for its drop down menu. Click on the first in the list, About This Mac. That's where you'll see the version as shown in the previous post.
    If you upgraded your Safari, even that could be a problem, because it might not work as well with your older operating system.  I haven't tried the following link, but it offers the Safari versions that fit each system. You can try downloading the one that matches yours.  If that doesn't work, you can always upgrade again.
